An Eden Gardens Wedding in Moorpark | Ruby & Mario 4/24
A wedding at Eden Gardens… doesn’t it just sound beautiful? I recently had the privilege of doing the lovely bride’s, Ruby’s, hairstyling and makeup for her wedding day! And Oh My was it beautiful!
Ruby was recommended to me by a colleague we had in common. When we first met she hired me to do the makeup and hairstyling for her engagement photos! We discussed the look she wanted and how she wanted it to sit. She looked stunning! (See engagement photos below!)
The next time we met was for her bridal shower! She had a few notes on the makeup and how it lasted through the evening, we changed up a few of our mixtures and got her ready for the shower! This hairstyling and makeup session was the trial run-through for the wedding.
Again, a few more notes on the makeup, sometimes brides will have sensitive skin or some makeups just don’t sit well on certain skins, so it’s highly recommended to always do a Wedding Makeup and Hairstyling trial. For the first and second makeup, we used a foundation that was recommended to Ruby by another artist. We found out that it was actually super drying to her skin, so on the day of the wedding, we opted for a foundation I had in my kit, one of my go-to’s: RCMA makeup. We made sure to try out a little sample a few days before the wedding ceremony, to make sure Ruby’s skin would look beautiful not only day of, but the days following the wedding as well.
April 24th came soon after and the big day was here! I arrived at Ruby’s hotel room and we started our Wedding Makeup and Hairstyling session! The get-ready time before the wedding is always such a treat to be apart of! The bridal party is excited, Mom and sometimes Grandma are there to usher in a new generation! Ruby was such a bridal beauty! As everything came together, her beauty grew more and more until at last, she was finished and ready to walk down the aisle!
It was an absolute pleasure to be apart of Ruby and Mario’s wedding journey! Such a sweet couple and such a sweet day!
Ruby left me this review:
“I was looking for a hair and make up artist and Ruth was recommended to me. I'm so glad she was. I loved the soft natural looks she creates. I'm not one to wear makeup and Ruth made sure we would get the right looks for what I was envisioning. Ruth was with me for my whole wedding process from engagement shoot, to bridal shower, and wedding. I wanted more of an old Hollywood glam look for the engagement shoot, she nailed it. The bridal shower was a trial for the wedding day to get the look. Since I'm not used to make up we did try out different foundations to find the right one for me. When it came to the wedding day I was so happy with what Ruth created. My make up was amazing and it stayed perfect all night, my hair was beautiful and exactly what I wanted. I would recommend Ruth 100%.”
Enough said, if I do say so myself.
